This happens so some upgraders, i am not sure why, it may have to do
with how you updated to 10.2
try this to clear out your CVS information:
cd /sw/fink
find . -type d -name 'CVS' -exec rm -rf {} \;
(you will get some error messages, but this should be ok)
then:
fink selfupdate-cvs
fink update xfree86-base xfree86-rootless
fink update-all
